OF Delaware college I'm Session To-
daYs


daYs
From Every Evening of yesterday.
The committee OF the alumuni association
appointed on Wednesday last nj Delaware
College to meet to-day 10 take some action
on the premises, are In session at the Clay
ton House this afternoon.
Two members, e. N. YallandiRham, New
York, and William duHamel, Philadelphia,
were not present at the morning session.
The remaining nine were In attendance,
with the R5v. Thomas Mcdowell In the
chair and Charles q. Evans as secretary.
There was full discussion OF the whole
college difficulty which has lately figured
In the pnpers. The subject Of the recon-
mendatlap of President Galdwell's rein
statement WINS silently passed over, since
there WIS not one member present who had
the tenerity 10 present his name for the I'M
favorable consideration of this committee.
The subject Of the faculty was then con.
sidered and sentiment was developed
which was favorable to the acceptance OF
all the designations handed into the board
Of trustees by the faculty and president.
This, however, was not the prevailing
sentiment as Professors Wolf and Harter
have many stanch friends In this com.
mittee,
II was the sense OF the meeting by a final
vote that report should be made to the
reorganizing committee which meets this
afternoon.
The report will probably embody and ad,
vise several important changes In the per
sonnet of the faculty and also a provision
looking to closer harmony and corporation
between the two bodies.
The eommittees report will be revised
and presented to the trustees at Il later
hour.
The committee of trustees of Delaware
College on the reorganization of the facult.
assembled at the Clayton House at O'Clock
this afternoon.
The following members are In attend
anee: Ex-Governor St0cklay, Drs. l.. p
Bush, q. e. Buck, s. M. Curtis, David d
Mustard, Governor Blggs, John q. Stockley

A cable TO the New York Herald from
London says: Vassarites and women stu.
dents at Cornell, with the Hail Columbia
baeheloresses of arts and all other femi-
nine students in America, had jubilee
trophy in the rank given yesterday at
Cambridge in the classical tripos to a
Girton girl, Miss Agnata Ramsay. She
has beaten all the male students in clas-
siSs, being the only one of either sex to
pass in the first division. What is
additionally remarkable is that her father,
Sir James Ramsay, Scotch baronet,
and her uncle, Professor George Ramsay
of Glasgow University, each obtained o
first class in classics when they took theii
degrees ct Oxford. MISS Ramsay has
just reached 20 years, and several of hei
male competitors were older. Her pro
ficiency in Latin and Greek was equal.
Her male contestants were gallant enough
TO cheer her name on the list when it was
put up, and doubtless they are wonder
| ing whether she will continue proficient
in constituting ovid's "Art of Love-"
